I muted my ears

Last night Felipe was really tired so I laid in his bed with him but I was only there for about 3 minutes because he fell asleep immediately.

He had asked me to sing Arrurru to him but I didn't even get through the whole song before I heard him snoring.  When I mentioned it to him this morning he told me... "Sorry mom but I muted my ears and didn't hear anything".

He comes up with the funniest things

Am I vertically challenged???

Today I was taking Felipe to school and since I didn't have to go to work I had Francesca with me also in the car.

The conversation goes like this...

Felipe:  Is daddy 37?
Me: Yes
Felipe: Why is daddy not like you?
Me:  He is, I am also 37.
Felipe: No, why isn't daddy like you?
Francesca: What... Tiny?
They both start to laugh and I call Adrian to tell him and he tells me that I am not tiny I am just vertically challenged.

The most interesting part of all this is that I still don't know what Felipe meant by his question.

What is a Baby Shower????

This past Saturday I attended a friend's baby shower.  The day that I got the invitation I showed it to Adrian and told him about it.  The kids overheard me so they asked what a Baby Shower was. Then with all the innocence that exists in their mind and hearts they came up with their own answer...  Apparently at a baby shower you get a baby and each guests showers a different part of the child.

I thought it was so funny but I explained to them that you "shower" the parents-to-be with gifts for the new baby they are expecting... They understood that it was a party so I left it at that but a few days later when I went to buy the gifts Francesca insisted I buy shampoo and soap because that is what you need for a shower.  So it was the running joke, whenever someone me about my plans for Saturday I would say that I was going to shower a baby.

I turned my ears off!!!

So today I was driving Felipe to school and he asked if it rained all night. I told him that I wasn't sure because I went to sleep early. He then tells me that he doesn't know either because when he goes to sleep he turns his ears off and turns them back on when he wakes up.

The funniest thing was that he was grabbing his ears and turning then like if they were a volume knob.

Felipe the Mechanic

A conversation that took place on my way to pick up Adrian at work...

Felipe: Why we pick up daddy?

Me:  Because daddy's car is broken...


Felipe: Why?


Me:  His window doesn't close.


Felipe:  Why?


Me:  I think the motor that closes the window is broken.


Felipe:  OH!  I know what happened.... The crocodiles ate the motor...


Once we got to the shopping center where Adrian works...


Me: I wonder why the lights are all out.

Felipe:  It's windy... They are cold BRRRRRR.
